Un guide étape par étape pour jouer le jeu

Gather the players in a comfortable and safe environment.

Explain to the players that when we're stressed, it can be challenging to differentiate between threats and thoughts regarding challenging situations. This confusion can trigger our survival instincts and affect our decision-making. A consequence of this can be that we start to avoid certain situations.

Brainstorm with the players on what possible threats, thoughts and challenges are.

Now distribute a situation card to each player. Instruct them to read their assigned scenario carefully.

Ask them to reflect on the situation: Do you consider it a threat or a challenge? Does this situation put you at risk or gives you some space to grow?

Encourage the players to select the reaction option they believe they would have.

Provide feedback on each scenario, discussing everyone's responses. Encourage participants to share their reasoning behind their choices (their dilemma's, doubts, maybe differences between what they think they would do and what they would like to do) to discuss any difficulties they encountered in identifying threats & thoughts on challenges. Address any questions or concerns raised by the players.

The game ends when all situation cards are discussed.

Informations supplémentaires sur le jeu

To explain the 4 potential stress reactions: Fight, Flight, Freeze or Fawn, you could explore the Signs & Symptoms of Trauma Poster of the Trauma-Informed Youth Work Toolkit.

Variations

You could invent other situation cards, to make it more adapted to your target group or situation.
Combine the situation cards with the Signs & Symptoms of Trauma Poster and identify for each situation an animal who responds the way you would respond to the situation.
